Help Preserve Our Night Skies
Join us during National Science Week for a citizen science project designed to protect and preserve our night skies! By simply taking part in a short survey, you can help gather crucial data to combat light pollution. This free, engaging, and educational experience is hosted by the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance.
Project Overview
Our night skies are under threat from increasing light pollution. This pollution obscures the stars and also affects wildlife and human health. You can gather data that will contribute to efforts to reduce light pollution and keep the stars visible for generations to come.
How to participate
Sign into our website https://www.australasiandarkskyalliance.org/campaign
Survey: Complete the online survey about your experiences with light pollution
Record: Your responses will help create a detailed heatmap showing areas most affected by light pollution
Share: Encourage others to take the survey and contribute to the project
Your data will provide insights into where light pollution is impacting Australia the most. Our interactive heatmap will display these results, highlighting areas that care most about this issue.
Why It Matters
This project is more than just star-gazing—it's a critical effort to combat light pollution. Your contributions will help scientists and policymakers understand the extent of light pollution and take measures to mitigate its impact. By reducing light pollution, we can protect wildlife, improve human health, and ensure that future generations can experience the wonder of a star-filled night sky.
